    To gain some new sponsors and raise their ratings, Sherwood comes up with a plan for a quiz show entitled "Brainstorm".  The hook is that instead of small cash prizes like other shows, this show will give away a large amount of dough.  Unfortunatly, the sponsor insists that the show be rigged so his son wins the prize and he doesn't loose any money.  Wackiness ensues when the cast rigs it in the opposite directon so Mr. Eldridge wins.  In other wackiness, a date (Doug) has shown up at the station to pick up Betty.  But before he can ever get to her he is intercepted by Mackie, Mr. Eldridge, AND Jeff who all quiz him to see if he's fit to see Betty.
